LOST AND FOUND ITEMS TO BE DONATED

Students often lose items at school that end up in the cafeteria lost and found. Over the winter break, we will be sending any unclaimed items as donations. We will lay out the lost and found items in the cafeteria for lunches on the last two days of school. If you believe your child has lost any items, please have them check in the cafeteria. Common items include jackets, binders, water bottles, etc.
